[Advanced] Catching Fire mafia - Game over!

[monk2310]

Hi guys! I'm excited for this game.

[Lenlo]

So that means 3 people were probably caught in a sector. Sounds painful.

 

From the book heres a list of the known sectors and what they did. 

 

From 12-1: Lightning hits a single tree over and over.

1-2: Blood rain.

2-3: Acid fog

3-4: Evil monkeys attack people

4-5: Jabberjays screw with peoples heads with screams.

6-7: Beasts attack people

10-11: Tidal Wave.

 

I know theres afew times missing but hey they werent mentioned in the book. One of those not mentioned, coincidentally, is 9-10 which is what just rung. Probably be difficult to find out who was affected seeing as how not everyone has checked in. I suggest everytime this happens, if they are allowed and it doesnt kill them, someone caught in it tells us. Least then we can try and figure it out.

[michellem]

You are allowed to talk about it if you get trapped in an active wedge, yes.

[Lenlo]

Well I figure each wedge will be different. Some may inhibit talking in some way, I dunno. Didnt wanna rule anything out, but thanks. :D

[michellem]

Some may, yes, but if they do, you'll simply have to wait patiently for 24 hours ;)

[Rhea]

I feel like I need to watch the movie right now!

Checking in

 

Lenlo, don't know the source. Can you elaborate?

[Lenlo]

Checking in

 

Lenlo, don't know the source. Can you elaborate?

In the book the arena was setup like a clock with 12 sections. So between midnight and 1 am or noon and 1 pm for example the lightning would strike. The 9 bells tolling signify's that it is 9 am or pm so we are in the section 9 - 10 o'clock. The OP said that every RL day a new thing would happen so I would assume every day we would go to a new section. Whether we go in sequential order or Mish just rolls a die I dunno but hopefully its sequential so we can anticipate what happens.

 

If I missed something you want more detail on just ask.

[Pralaya]

Ok, so something like a trigger but random based on sector happening to a random person.

[csarmi]

From what I understood, the clock will change every 24 hours.

 

During a set of 24 hours, some of the players get affected. Probably continuously.

 

We're probably considered to be in a specific sector (every one of us).

 

It sounds like sector 9 is active now with three players in there.

 

Does that sound correct?

[Xthrax]

Yeah according to the book thats what happens. Also there was a situation when they had figured the arena, the gamemakers would spin the center confusing everyone

[dicetosser1]

Hi TG!!

 

so do we  assume Len, Rhea Darthe Pray Csarmi Xthrax and I were not caught in the sector as none of us have said what the effect was?

 

Im trying to remember the movie. Wasn't there a safe time however brief? was that 9-10?

[nervositee]

In this game, you'll encounter the clock-mechanic of the arena. As you move through the jungle, you might stumble upon the wedge that has an active hour... And the effects are rarely pleasant. Unfortunatley, since you are most concerned with keeping safe from the other tributes, you don't really get to be picky with where you are going. So you'll simply have to accept the consequenses should you be so unlucky to be trapped in an active area.

 

Every 24 hours, the clock will change. What decides what hour it is? How many will be affected? That's for us to know, and you to wonder. You will get a PM detailing the effect if you get hit. Do not attempt to break the limits that is up on you; this will count as breaking a rule, and will be punished. A short scene will be posted every time the hour changes. You are free to talk about the mechanics and share if you have been trapped (unless otherwise stated in the PM you get).

 

 

 

The mod description of the mechanics. Bolded what stands out to me. 

So I'm guessing the only trigger is the clock (changes every 24 hours) a random number will get a negative effect. I'm guessing it involves maybe being muted or getting posting limits, voting limits or similar. Would fit since the effect can't be TOO severe. 

 

Beside that I think it's too early to start tunneling on mechanics. Hopefully someone will 'come forth' later to tell what happened to them. 

[hazelkrs1]

Sorry I'm late to the party everyone. Been having connection issues.

 

I'll check on VC.

[csarmi]

Agreed.

 

I don't think there'd a need to discuss it right now, or to go fishing. The players in question will reveal the information when they see fit.

 

If there's at least one maffia player affected, let them choke/slip on TMI.

Is there's no maffia affected, there's no reason to let them know.

[csarmi]

That was @Nerv.

did the vote by krak on TG not count?

[Lenlo]

Hi TG!!

No there were no safe times.

[Hallia]

I could've sworn one of the wedges was semi ok

[Lenlo]

I could've sworn one of the wedges was semi ok

Lightning tree was probably the least lethal.

[michellem]

A bell tolls eight times.
